Low back pain can arise due to muscle strain or spasm, joint pathologies, bad posture. Consult an orthopaedician or physiotherapist to diagnose the cause of the pain. Treatment can be suggested based on diagnosis.
After pain is relieved, consult physiotherapist to check your spine muscles strength. In case there is muscle weakness, then strengthening will prevent recurrence of back pain.
Health Tips
If your job requires continuous sitting, then consult physiotherapist to learn how to correct posture, adjust table and chair height to reduce strain. Below link has information on the same:
